[XC] Blue Hills Trail update

[BlueHills]

Blue Hills Trail report...

January 31 provided the first fresh snow in 2½  weeks -- 4 to 5 inches of light, fluffy snow.  The entire trail system was packed (rolled) today (February 1).  Enough snow was available to set a striding lane on a significant portion of the EastSideTrail.  This meant fair to very good conditions today (February 1) skiing freshly groomed packed powder.   Most trail sections have adequate base, and in many areas you can ski full out; other areas still have occasional rocks and dirt spots, and you will need to pick your way.  Trail sections with the best conditions will be posted at the parking lot bulletin board.  Plenty of good skiing available, although rock skis are still recommended.
